Fall, apple pie, spiced cider, hunting for the perfect pumpkin, layering BOHO style. I miss summer already but as long as it doesn't rain everyday, I'll be fine. A little over a year ago I made the move from Seattle to small town Ferndale, WA. My back ground is graphic design & tableware design. With recent changes in my lifestyle, the situation to create and work from home is suiting me just fine! I love to garden, sew, and cook. I'm the modern house wife without child or ring! But hey, I love my life! Have fun browsing around and hope to hear from you.

Inspiration, buttons.

I spoke too soon in my last post. Even though I have been trying to pump up my immune system with Vitamins, I guess it wasn't enough to fight off the raw sore throat, cough, sniffles, cold. So, I'm taken it easy and ready to share some recent inspiration. At a local antique store, I found this little zip locked bag of buttons in an old shoe box full of mix matched notions and everything in between. These gold, vintage buttons have inspired me to create some plaid neck cowls. While they are on their way, here are some of the buttons in the zip lock that inspired me. Gold and plaid are seeming to go great together!

Come to think of it, these would also look too cute on coffee sleeves. Also coming! I know, you are wondering when! Answer is, just in time for the holidays! I have been so busy working on custom orders lately but its in my plans to be adding more and more to my little shop. Happy Wednesday to you, and hopefully you are not attached to a box of kleenex and some cough drops like I am!

Hey, I have a box of old buttons fro Grandma Widdop. I can see what's in there and if you want any I can get them to you.
Let me know. xoxo. Love your new project!

I love the buttons! I am so excited for the cowl necks... you'll have to reserve one for me to purchase! Oh, and thanks for feeding my husband last night ;)
